Description
Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life
A groundbreaking account of the Earth's transformation from a lifeless planet to a vibrant, interconnected world. Life has shaped our planet over billions of years, breathing oxygen into the atmosphere, creating the modern oceans, and turning rock into fertile soil.
This book reveals how the Earth's capacity to regulate its climate and maintain balance is intertwined with life itself. Through compelling narrative and lucid explanations, Ferris Jabr shows us how our world came to be, how it is changing, and how we will determine the kind of Earth our descendants inherit.
